To think my friend totally cockblocked me

Cockblocked · 08/07/2016 17:36

Met a guy at the weekend whilst out with my mate. Didn't manage to change numbers, no worries it happens.

The next day she sent me a picture message of a message he had sent her on FB asking for my number (they have a mutual friend). She asked me if I wanted to give it to him and I said yes. A week passed and no fact, she even asked me twice if he had text.

Anyway I've just had a message from him on FB (not sure how as my FB is totally locked down, with my first name and middle name). He said he knows I didn't want to give him my number but wanted to message just in case I changed my mind.

I messaged back and said oh I told X to give it to you. He sent me a screenshot of their convo where she said oh I don't think she's up for it sorry!

She totally just cockblocked me didn't she?

Op, forget about the time stamp.

The fact she asked you whether he had text you, tells you all you need to know.

OP it's obvious to me that she's jealous and she's unhappy. She therefore wants you to be as unhappy as her. She's projecting.

I wouldn't be having much to do with her in future. Are you going on this date with the Beau in the Bar then? Grin

whoopthereitis · 08/07/2016 18:31

I see a few other posters have said the same thing.
And, she's been spectacularly nice about being accused of lying Hmm

mumofthemonsters808 · 08/07/2016 18:31

She's no friend of yours.

dowhatnow · 08/07/2016 18:32

So when is your date?

IfNotNowThenWhenever · 08/07/2016 18:37

Cockblockjng is when a man does this to another man.The female equivalent. .is cuntblocked. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

SabineUndine · 08/07/2016 18:38

JEEZ. Hope he's your 'one'.

Kenduskeag · 08/07/2016 18:43

Cockblocked is ancient, we were using it when we were in school XD

Minge-singed is great.

TheEmmaDilemma · 08/07/2016 18:46

Mingesinged. Grin

New sweary word for my vocab. Thank you MN.

Biscuitbrixit · 08/07/2016 18:47

But why would she keep asking if he's text you yet? But then remember that she didn't actually give number!

ApocalypseSlough · 08/07/2016 18:48

Ach, she sounds a bit careless/ flaky. Try and forgive her.

CoraPirbright · 08/07/2016 18:49

I like "Fan Dammed" - better than the alternatives!

I had a mate like this - any bloke I said I fancied, she would go after him hell for leather. It became really tedious and I had to start employing diversionary tactics - telling her that I fancied man A and then sneaking off to flirt with man B whilst she hair-tossed and laughed at man A. All rather dull and she is now an ex-friend.

If this woman is really a great friend in all other respects, I would keep her firmly in the coffee/dinner out box and get someone else to be your wing-woman on nights out where potential men are in the offing.

meworthit · 08/07/2016 18:53

Aha but here's the thing ... This boyo was told u were not interested, found u somehow on fb even though u have it locked down, and he contacted u as wanted too see u anyway,
Go on a date with him, not a ons, the wee romantic in me is running away here .... Imagine the wedding speeches when he says how he thought u weren't interested and thanks to ur friends mixup he wanted u more
I'm sad aren't I ! Grin

LostQueen · 08/07/2016 19:05

I would absolutely re evaluate my friendship with this person.

Go on a date with him, hope it all ends up as a story for the grandkids one day (hopeless romantic like meworthit Grin )

paxillin · 08/07/2016 19:05

Cockblocked Grin. You learn something every day.

oobedobe · 08/07/2016 19:10

Agree with other posters that cockblocked is used by men about other men who you know all have cocks. Though I guess she has blocked your access to a cock!

She doesn't appear to be a very nice friend :(

eddielizzard · 08/07/2016 19:12

she totally did that on purpose. if it were me she would be demoted from best friend to just meh.

prettybird · 08/07/2016 19:15

Revenge is a dish best served cold: go on the date with him, fall in love, decide to get married.....

And ask her to be Matron of Honour Grin

maybe getting a bit ahead of things Wink

defineme · 08/07/2016 19:17

Could a slightly kinder explanation be that she cockblocked you, not because she's jealous, but because she has had her self esteem destroyed by being with a sexually abusive (handsy i assume means groping?) husband. She equates self worth with sexual attractiveness, like we're trained to in this society, husband gives her the message she is worthless by groping other women. She tries to repair her self worth by flirting with other men to get their approval and, therefore, it's a very cruel blow when a man messages her simply to get in contact with her friend.
Doesn't mean she should cock block her 'sister' but i do feel a bit sorry for her.
I don't think I would go clubbing with her, stick to coffee.

MiscellaneousAssortment · 08/07/2016 19:20

Flakey or weirdly mean?

It's not that she tried to block you, by her 'did he text yet' questions, knowing he couldn't, kinda points to wanting to see you feeling rejected too. Either on purpose or selfishness seeping out of control and wanting everyone to hurt like she feels hurt. Ouch.

The best ever use of cockblocked is in regards to the octopus in Love Actually.

Cockblocktopus.

ClopySow · 08/07/2016 19:29

Cock blocked is used for either sex.

She sounds like shes lying.
